About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this topographic study of the Strawberry Range, documenting a landscape defined by high-altitude mining and timber resources in the early 1970s. The map illustrates the region's industrial footprint through dredge tailings along the upper reaches of Canyon Creek and a network of remote workings including the Miller Mtn Mine, Great Northern Mine, and the Iron King Mine.

Evidence of historical backcountry activity is found in the various camps and clearings such as Jack Cabin Mdw, Mosier Camp, and the Ray Cole Campground. The terrain is marked by significant water features like Mad Lake and Hot Springs, providing essential landmarks for researchers of local geography. High peaks including Eagle Peak and Little Canyon Mtn anchor the survey, which was updated in 1983 to reflect changes in woodland cover and infrastructure.
